I wake up in the mornin', face another day
Got to get the walls up that'll keep me safe
But if I stop and close my eyes, I see you in my mind
When I hear you speak my name, it happens every time
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
I never show the way I feel, always in control
In a world of push and shove, that's protocol
But when the pressures buildin' up and things are out of line
I close my eyes and look at you, it happens every time
You always go
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always go
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
You always go, yeah
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always go
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
You got a way of gettin' through
You're tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always do it
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
Walls come tumblin' down
Oh, that's what you do
Go straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Got to get the walls up that'll keep me safe
But if I stop and close my eyes, I see you in my mind
When I hear you speak my name, it happens every time
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
I never show the way I feel, always in control
In a world of push and shove, that's protocol
But when the pressures buildin' up and things are out of line
I close my eyes and look at you, it happens every time
You always go
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always go
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
You always go, yeah
Straight to the heart
You got a way of gettin' through
Tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always go
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
You got a way of gettin' through
You're tearing my defenses down
Oh, that's what you do
You always do it
Straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
Determined that I'll stand my ground
I think of you, the walls come tumblin' down
Walls come tumblin' down
Oh, that's what you do
Go straight to the heart
You never ever miss the mark
